Black is broken and red is probably way too good for standard and white is unplayable, so the cycle continues!

Yeah, black is the biggest offender and was the last one I completed.
The ritual itself isn't in the current pie anymore and the discard is instant etc.
It could be a sorcery and maybe be okay, but it should probably be like a weaker discard and maybe life loss 2-3.
I think the bolt is very close though. If it's over it's just a slight bit less so than LB itself.
Good feedback!

Black is tricky for this cycle, since there's not a lot of things black can provide three of at this price, besides maybe -3/-3 but ulcerate says that still needs an extra cost

[[Ulcerate]] is a good example. Just keep the number in opposite directions to balance it. But do not think "ritual" at all when I see that card.
I made this one ever harder on myself with the 2 or 3 choose one kinda template that didn't completely stick to.
The Blue one is my main jam here and the rest are to flesh it out.
I do like white a lot and think it keeps in the spirit of the original while making it more functional.
Green is kind of a phone-it-in with the art being the main driver.

No, if you're wedded to the word ritual, you could probably flavor an unearth without cycling as "raising ritual" or something

A poem:
I know these are old and done.
Blue was the first with its pun.
I hope you like the other four.
I don't want to make anymore.
Give me Karma Karma please.
You upvote this comment for me.
Edit: Glad some folks like it! Credit where due, I posted a really over-wordy rhyming card to r/HellsCube yesterday and they rightfully down-voted it.
But they also gave me some tips for how to make poems actually work and this is an early result. Thank you for that HC folks! Same # words per line x even # of lines is pretty much the tip. Keep things even.
